K-State Immediate Access Pilot
The K-State Campus Store is launching a new course materials pilot program that immediately provides accessible, interactive digital course materials and textbooks while reducing the cost to students and improving affordability.
K-State Immediate Access is a new digital rental program that allows students access to course materials on or before the first day of class, and at a significant savings from purchasing the materials.
Students who register for participating K-State Immediate Access courses will automatically be part of the program. Course material costs are conveniently and automatically charged to your student bill. Like other K-State charges, this amount is payable by financial aid or personal funds. If you have a payment plan, this charge will be included in payment plan calculations to determine recurring payment amounts.
Should you choose to purchase course materials through the open market, you may OPT OUT of K-State Immediate Access anytime after registering for the course through the final course drop date Monday, February 10, 2025. A credit to your student bill will be provided to students who choose to opt out of the program. Opt-out is not available after this date.
